The NHL has officially released the 2026-27 schedule, and Steve Yzerman is out as General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings. In this episode of Hockey Talk with TG, I break down both of the biggest NHL stories of the week.

Hello guys. Welcome back to another episode of Hockey Talk with TG! In this episode, I break down the 2026-27 NHL schedule, including the biggest Opening Night matchups, the league's new 84-game regular season, and the games I'm most excited to watch throughout the year. From Panthers vs. Hurricanes kicking off the season to some of the biggest rivalries, marquee matchups, outdoor games, and international events, there's a lot to look forward to in what could be one of the NHL's most exciting seasons yet.

I also discuss one of the biggest stories of the NHL offseason as Steve Yzerman steps down as General Manager of the Detroit Red Wings. What does this mean for the future of the franchise? Is this officially the end of the "Yzerplan?" I break down Yzerman's tenure in Detroit, why the organization decided to make a change, and what the next general manager will inherit moving forward.

Finally, I take a closer look at the Dylan Larkin situation and why it could become the biggest storyline surrounding the Red Wings. Could a new general manager convince the captain to stay, or is Detroit headed toward a franchise-changing decision? I share my thoughts on where the organization goes from here and what Red Wings fans should keep an eye on over the coming months.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the episode!

We discuss why Ovechkin decided to come back, what this means for the Capitals moving forward, and whether Washington has done enough this offseason to become a legitimate Stanley Cup Playoff contender.
